Is your computer melting down or is that just your patience? Either way, here's a few basic things to try when something goes wrong with your machine.
- Make sure everything is plugged in.
- Yes, it's obvious, but it's the number-one problem we encounter... honest.
- Restart.
- It's a tried and true fix-it that really does help in many (OK, some) instances.
- Swear.
- Let loose with your best sailor language. It may not make your computer spring.
- back to life, but you'll feel loads better. Just make sure the kids are in the other room.
- Ask your eight-year-old.
- Chances are, he or she will know what to do.
- Try turning the monitor on.
- Hey... we're all forgetful sometimes.
- Call the Nerd Herd!
Meet Chuck
Not all of them wear glasses taped together in the middle... only some of them. Say hello to your Nerd Herd team here.
Nerds... men and women armed with pocket protectors, polyester pants that don't quite fit, and glasses taped down the middle.
